I'm planning on visiting one or two Chicagoland HAM clubs in March/April to see what its about.  My primary interest is in alternative forms of communication should something suddenly happen to the infrastructure.

The coolest piece of HAM tech I've found is this: http://www.elecraft.com/KX1/KX1.htm

I see pictures online of HAM op's with rooms full of kit but that's not me - the smaller, lighter, and more energy efficient is better.

I don't have much gear, just a couple of Chinese made handie talkies.

My dad and grandpa were both hams.  I've been meaning to get into it for a long time, both for the fun and for the emergency preparedness aspect.
